Visas issued after expiry of the current visa does not necessarily mean there is a gap, it is the application raised date which is important as far as I am aware.Haider wrote:To all who are contributing to this topic:
I am following the post on this topic and finding it very helpful. As I am going to apply for my ILR soon under the same catagory, experiences shared here are inspiring. I nearly spent 10 year in various catagory (student, work) and extended my visa several times. In few occasions, my visa was issued with a later date than the previous one's expiry date. So, there's a gap of days where I didn't have any visa but I had the HO acknowledgement letter saying my application was under process. I also do not have all the letters in possessions. Is this going to be a trouble?
Thanx. Haider
That was really useful. I had no clue about SAR and after your suggestion, I looked it up on internet. I am going to make a request soon. You mentioned about noting application raised dates. Did you mean, the date those applications were made and mentioning these dates on a cover letter with the main application for ILR? Thanx again. Haider
